DEDICATION TO THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE People of the whole world waited long months jor the first year of peace—1946. Some who worked hardest for it never lived to see vt come. We who remain are now on the brink of the most golden era the world has ever seen. Pessimism is far back as optimism leads us down the stretches of history with man surging to greater triumphs than he ever dreamed of. The world looks toward America to help her real- ize those so-long throttled ambitions and dreams. And this country of ours looks towards its col- leges and universities more than ever before, placing a great deal of the responsibility for a better world upon us. Our government has made an overwhelming step in trying to channel its armed forces’ mem- bers into the colleges, with the most liberul education plan ever devised. Heartemng indeed has been the response to this program. In our own college, upwards of 200 veterans hare swelled the enrollment to an all-time h: for one semester’s count. This coming fall Bay City Junior College looks to the greatest year in its operation. Enrollment may perhaps even double the present four hundred. Sports came back with a bang. Aad social activities jumped right back into the spotlight from the dark corners where they were during the serious war years. JC’s long man-hungry women suddenly found themselves outnumeredtwo to one. Mid-semester saw the famed lounge disappear before our very eyes only to re-appear wm the lower through eatreme pressure and diligent work by the Veteran’s Council, and kind co-opera- tion from Dean Butterfield, Principal Briggs of Central High School, and the Board of Hdu- cation. The veterans have changed J. C. in many ways. Their serious attitude, far from dampen ing the usual high college spirit, has enveloped the college in a zestful spirit of ambition uw. equalled in former years. Success comes only to those who will work for vt. Your two-year degree must be worked for. In like manner, Annuals are published only after long hours of patient and diligent ef fort. May we pass on to you our motto? It may be well worth remembering. The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.
